A real person answers, day or night
See exactly what is wrong down there before anyone opens the ground
Guesswork on a drain means digging the wrong spot and paying for it twice. Ring (02) 9072 0502 and a drainage plumber puts a camera down the drain and shows you the fault on screen first.
Why a camera earns its place on wet ground
Faults hide under saturated soil
Depth and position, to the metre
Old clay gives few outward signs
What a drain inspection covers
A CCTV drain inspection does more than peer down the pipe, it locates the fault, measures the depth, grades the pipe's condition and leaves you with footage, so every decision after it rests on evidence:
Fault finding
The camera travels the whole run of the drain and shows every crack, root entry, sag and blockage live on the screen, so you and the plumber see the same picture before a price is discussed.
Locating and depth
From the surface a locator picks up the camera head and reads the precise position and depth of a fault, which is what lets a repair open one neat hole instead of a long exploratory trench.
Condition reporting
Grading the pipe from the footage tells you whether a line is sound, needs a reline or has collapsed past saving, turning a vague worry into a clear, ranked list of what needs doing.
Pre-purchase checks
A pre-purchase or pre-renovation inspection reads the drains of an older cottage before you commit, so the hidden state of the earthenware is known upfront rather than discovered after the sale.
When an inspection is worth booking
A line that keeps blocking
Before you buy an old home
After a big storm or new work
What the camera usually finds
Root intrusion
Where a drain keeps blocking, the camera almost always finds fine roots working through a joint and knotting into a mat, and it shows the exact joint so a targeted reline can shut them out for good.
Cracks and sags
On the wet flats the footage often reveals a section dropped into a belly where the bedding washed away, pooling water and waste, a fault clearing cannot cure while the ground keeps settling underneath.
Foreign objects
Sometimes the culprit is simply wipes, a lost toy or building debris jammed at a bend, and seeing it on screen means we clear that exact obstruction rather than treating the whole line as broken.
Why footage saves you money
Paying to look before you dig sounds backwards, yet it stops a repair opening the wrong ground and turning one fault into a yard of trenches:
One dig, not several
A record you get to keep
Early warning on the rest
How it works
How a drain inspection runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Camera, locate and report
Feeding the camera the full length of the drain, we pin any fault's depth and position from the surface, then walk you through the footage on the spot, so your next step rests on the screen.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Banksia
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Banksia works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Drain inspections across the neighbourhood
Our camera van also runs to Arncliffe and Rockdale, up to Bardwell Valley and out toward Kyeemagh and Brighton-Le-Sands by the bay, every inspection quoted plainly before the reel goes down.
Good questions, straight answers
Drain camera questions Banksia locals ask
What does a CCTV drain inspection actually show?
It puts live video of the inside of the drain on a screen, pinpointing any crack, root or blockage and its depth, so you see the real fault yourself before a repair is priced.
Can a camera find a fault under the wet eastern flats?
Yes, and it is the surest way there, because saturated ground hides leaks and cracks from the surface, so the camera and its locator pin the fault where digging blind would miss it.
Do I get a copy of the footage?
Yes, you can keep the video and the plumber's notes on what it shows, which is useful evidence for a quote, an insurer, a strata report or a future owner of the home.
Is there a fee just to camera a drain?
Attending costs nothing on a $0 call out, and the inspection is quoted as a single written price up front, so the total is clear before the camera ever goes down the line.
When should I book a drain camera?
Book one when a drain keeps blocking, before buying or renovating an older cottage, or after a collapse is suspected, so the real state of the pipe is known before you spend on it.
How long does a camera inspection take?
A straightforward inspection is usually done within the visit, and you get the findings and footage on the spot, though a long or heavily blocked line can take a little more time.
